Never Been Beat the mindset!!
Never Been Beat to me is a mindset and, more directly, an experience. Have you ever had your ass kicked? Have you ever felt vulnerable to the point of no return? Of course, you have. We all have. Alfred Adler said to be human is to feel inferior. It makes no difference if you acknowledge it or not. It is objectively true. The irony is that most people think of bad thoughts in ways that are not objectively true—for example, feeling poor. If you look at the median income in the world, there is no way an American could genuinely be poor. Need help, yes. But without the possibility to increase standard of living or quality of life, NO!
There are moments in suffering that we experience self-reliance and decide to be the best at what matters most. It could be holding higher standards by saying yes sir to be contributive in a subordinate way. It could be standing up to a passive-aggressive patronizing do-gooder that impedes you from being human. Someone could say never give up or never quit and i love that mindset. Yet if i am under fire holding the greatest weight, I need something emotionally charged more than a straining mindset. See, I believe confidence is the memory of success. As a two-time Marine combat veteran, I was put in situations that not only called for earnest effort. It called for flickers of memories i won in a way that is relevant at the moment. Far as i can tell, it comes from underneath my conscious thought. In other words, it pops out of the blue sky. And the reason is that i direct my mind to call on the greatest experience possible. To do that, I have to turn off the literal part of the brain. You know, people say things like it’s literally raining cats and dogs. My heart is literally broken into thousand pieces. My friend is literally an angel. Maybe to sound profound, but no, it’s not literally raining cats and dogs. No, your heart is not literally broken, and your friend is not literally an angel. Feel it’s raining heavy. Feel your heart hurt. Feel your friend being a good person. Our generation is not literally using the right side of our brain. Watch this ted talk of a neurologist talking about having a stroke only on the left side of her brain, leaving only an experience of the right brain. https://youtu.be/UyyjU8fzEYU. My goal is to get myself, you, and others to experience wins in memories of success. We all have won and should cherish things like them and beat the drum. NEVER BEEN BEAT!!!
At any rate, thank you for reading my blog. I plan to put out more of my thoughts. Please subscribe!

How did the attraction to Never Been Beat the mindset start?
How did the Never Beeb Beat brand start? It started by observing new and season veteran arm wrestlers signing up at state tournaments. I was fascinated by meeting pros like Dave Randell, Ron Bath, Chad Silvers. Cleave Dean and upcoming stars like James Retarides and Tim Mcphereson in my weight class. I was equally entertained by watching and pulling the amateurs when I started in 2009. To carve out a profile of a puller and set the stage for what to expect at an event, imagine the good ole hard-working guy in your town that everyone loves. More specifically, the guy with the thick wrist your poppa told you about never messing with the quiet ones. These guys are not your typical hot head that has some ego issue. It’s the guy that loves a challenge, and some may say pain. As the Marines say, “Pain is weakness leaving the body.” Well, have you ever had a dry socket from removing a wisdom tooth? Imagine that in your arm and, for some reason wanting more. I have watched countless confident young and older men with the biggest smiles on their faces get slammed over and over, and the smile only got bigger. Here is a video of an older gentleman that had this same kind of belief in himself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lymcgRbbwjA
